About the Confex

Where national vision meets digital leadership

The STEM Learning Confex & Awards – KSA Edition is a premier national platform dedicated to accelerating Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Aligned with Vision 2030’s ambition to build a knowledge-based economy, the Confex brings together education leaders, policymakers, school operators, university heads, EdTech innovators, robotics experts, and industry partners to shape the future of learning.

With over 60% of Saudi Arabia’s population under the age of 35 and the Kingdom investing billions into digital transformation, AI, smart infrastructure, and space technologies, developing a strong STEM talent pipeline is no longer optional it is strategic. Global reports indicate that by 2030, more than 70% of emerging jobs will require STEM-related skills, while AI and automation alone are expected to redefine nearly 40% of existing roles.

Saudi Arabia’s rapid growth in sectors such as AI, cybersecurity, renewable energy, robotics, and smart cities further reinforces the urgency of equipping students with hands-on, innovation-driven education models. The STEM Learning Confex serves as a national benchmark platform to spotlight transformative educational initiatives, recognize outstanding institutions and educators, and foster meaningful collaboration between academia, government, and industry to ensure the Kingdom remains globally competitive in science and technology leadership.
